    Will Be Praying for "Good" Results
    The waiting is so, so hard! My father has scans next Friday to find out his situation and if the chemo is still working and making a difference.

    Thanks for keeping us updated. It's nice to know the status of peoples situations. Easier to pray for that way!

    Blessings,
    Sally

    Our wonderful Dr. Dahbi called and gave us the results of yesterdays scans. John has been on Hercepin and 5fu for the past couple of months. He is responding to it with minimal side effects. Looks like the cancer is taking a hike because the Doctor said he would describe John as stable. The stomach area looked great. There is no cancer in the organs or bones no liver no spleen. He will continue to get the same chemo every other week and have another scan end of Jan or early Feb. We thanked God and I have told John to clear out the furniture and turn as many cartwheels as he wishes. Thanks for all of you support and read this web site. Shirley

    YIPPEE!
    I am so very happy for both of you Shirley. What a great Christmas present for you. God is amazing and looks after all of us. Thank you for the prayers as well. We see the doctor tomorrow for Jim's petscan report to see if surgery is a go. We pray it is. We would like that wonderful Christmas gift as well.

    God Bless,

    Linda
